Septic Peg Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Haven't seen any posts on the fella who vaulted from the SS into the disabled section and then over the ad boards and celebrated with the lads when Bob scored... Anyone knew who he was? Video from our own @Tim S (watch the bottom left screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Madness though really !!! A ban and possible conviction (Hope common sense prevailed on this 'vey minor' occasion) Some of us may have been similarly over excited in our youth but rarely resulted in arrests or bans back then I notice it's becoming a trend again - Villa fans spilling on the pitch at Barnsley yesterday for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hope some common sense was used here but I'd bet on a ban at least) @Mkelly are you able to clarify what happens in this instance / club policy (Though Tbf I can guess what it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Swallocks Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 The stewards thought he was trying to fight them off, he was literally just bouncing up and down. All very comical really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I don't think they will be too harsh on him. Perhaps a letter home to the parents . He only looks about 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 It too four stewards to stop him bouncing in the end. Very impressive bounce on the young fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Can't imagine the authorities will come down too hard on him this time. I don't think a pitch invasion always ends in a stadium ban, if it does, isn't it something like 3 years plus a fine, obviously depending on the incident? Remember the fan the West Ham fan who ran across the pitch at Upton Park and took a free kick a few years ago? He avoided a ban and was fined £300.

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Nothing more than over exuberance - he didn't even go on the field of play as far as I can see. At the very worst ejection from the ground with a warning. Really no harm done - to ban an enthusiastic fan for getting carried away in the joy of the moment would be just spiteful.

I've seen various sets of fans doing similar things from the Atyeo, as recently as the Villa game IIRC?, with the advertising boards being pushed over to get to the edge of the pitch, didn't hear too much fuss about it then?

And even if there was this was very different. This was a single person who didn't cause any damage as opposed to Villa which was probably 20 people who could have damaged the advertising boads while falling over them. What Villa did could have escalated what this bloke did was never going to be more than a hug and a bounce for Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkelly Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Fan was ejected. Reported to police (criminal offense) and will be banned. Similar to flares, the club can be fined for each incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for / good to clarify Mike You are sure to get lots of criticism of being OTT but I can understand that the Club are not allowed to 'turn' a blind eye for numerous reasons , however brutal it looks in this scenario And if ignored one becomes two becomes six ...... ( And I speak as somebody who when younger may have got overvexcited at football , and been on pitches, albeit before it became an offence ) Would guess , in the circumstances the lad is likely to get a caution from the Police There is also a confusion on here that some pointed out he didn't go 'on the pitch' - Perhaps a good time / opportunity to clarify that the offence is committed on pitch and surrounds ? (I.e. If you get over a wall / hoarding you are I the 'red zone' ? (as is my understanding) ? ( Or anywhere on the grass basically ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Appreciate that some will call this an over reaction and a draconian measure, but you can't deny they club are consistent in their approach when someone does go slightly over the top. End of the day, we all know where we stand and the penalties for breaking the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always heard the offence was going on the field of play, but you could be right Bob. In which case numerous away fans must have suffered a similar fate at AG recently - e.g. Brum & Villa - but I haven't heard anything about arrests and bans arising from those incidents. I've no doubt some clubs do 'turn a blind eye' to incidents like yesterday btw., with stewards simply returning the over excited fan to the stand. I've seen it numerous times on TV.

Big C Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 It probably is an over reaction but a day after a terrorist attack, heightened security alerts and armed police at the Gate I think the days of turning a blind eye are gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Shame for the lad . Actually made me laugh. It seems very harsh to me . But the club has its rules to stick too. Agree with what Big C said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your comments Nogs I think the actual phrase is if you 'enter the playing area' (or very similar) (Also applies at cricket etc so not just football) As I said a good chance for @Mkelly to clarify and make clear I think th lads problem yesterday was he jumped on the pitch about 3 yards away from, and right in front of a Steward Supervisor !!!
